Canada could annex the blue states and turn them into provinces...
The great lakes finally united

Nah. I personally am enjoying watching the Republican farmers suffer. It is cathartic to see them cry. It is a sliver of joy in my heart to watch them beg. Afterall, this is what they voted for.
For once, I agree with her. Please let us leave.
only downside is throwing all the minorities in red states under the bus.
if that happens, I hope they get to flee to safety

Agree, lets all stick the politicians and billionaires on an island in the pacific. Then America will be safe again.

I see this on signs outside sometimes. I always wonder where the fuck they think the line will be though... The people who believe this shit generally live in the middle of nowhere and all the cities are deep blue so there isn't a red state/blue state divide, it's basically the network city state thing the yarvinists want but even that makes no sense because there aren't really any red cities to form around

Anyone saying they agree with the idea shouldn’t be. It won’t turn out how you imagine if it actually comes to pass under this admin.
Oh, then they could have a real war instead of a civil war, diabolical.
Anyone else find it really jarring that MTG has some good takes here and there lately? First Gaza, now this? I mean, she's still clearly the same awful hag as always, but the cynic in me wonders if she's trying to rehab her image or something after all the heinous shenanigans.
Weaponized stupidly.
Oh fuck of course! I knew this shit was coming. This is exactly what happened in Russia.
Not a surprise bc the heritage foundation was behind that shit too
1991: Russia House, Trading in Its Name
Paul Weyrich was the co founder of Heritage. One minute he was in Moscow teaching dissidents about holding elections and sneaking in computers and fax machines.
The next the Soviet Union had collapsed and the Heritage Foundation had helped create the first of its kind go between for U.S. and Russia business as Russia embraced "capitalism."

Literally fought the deadliest war in US history over this...
Which would matter if she cared about history. Or objective reality.
Don't threaten Republicans with learning history. These kids would be so angry if they could read.
Does this mean Dixie goes its own way with a shiny new government? Hmm.

Does this mean they think they are going to lose it again and wants to ensure they get to keep half?
Indeed, with the Nazi-US GeStaPo roaming and randomly arresting, the USA is no longer safe. The MAGA States of America can keep them, so that normal people can live in peace.
Pakistan and Palestine would like to weigh in
Silly question. Would they get called NUSA (Not so United States of America)?

I am down with that, I'll stand with all the productive blue states, GOP Nazis can take the bible belt and Southern 'confederacy'.
I'll happily trade houses with someone in the West who wants to join their conservative bretheren.

I hate to say it, but I agree with mtg here. Cascasdia now!
Mtg like when pond scum catches the sunlight at golden and hour and just kind of completes the scene.
It's weird that this woman has said, four things I agree with lately, but in the light of full day pond scum is still pond scum.
Split into the conservative leecher states and the progressive earner states? How will they finance their new conservative utopia? Hate only feeds you that long...
slavery, then war, more enslaving, more war. repeat.
I actually don't disagree (which is twice now that MTG and I agree on conclusions, albeit for incredibly different and opposed reasons--i can't tell whether this is just early onset dementia, which runs in my family after all), but i can't help but doubt she understands how utterly economically devastating this would be for red states. Nevertheless, sure, northeastern autonomy--from the tippy tip of Maine down to DC and west to Philly.

Even better. Slice it into three parts. East, west and middle.
East and west can be one and middle can be on its own.
I don't think the country can afford to pay for everyone one to move to a star of their color choice.
